Preliminary hearing for suspect in Jane Bashara murder case pushed back until June

Joe Gentz charged with murder in death Grosse Pointe Park mother

The preliminary examination for the man accused in the murder of Grosse Pointe Park mother has been pushed back.

Joe Gentz is charged with murder in the death of Jane Bashara.

His hearing was supposed to be Friday, but will now be June 11. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said the move was to allow more time for a forensic center to complete their reports.

Bob Bashara's attorney has own theory

Jane Bashara's husband, Bob Bashara, has been named a person of interest in his wife's death. His attorney, David Griem, said he thinks there is another reason for Gentz's preliminary examination delay.

"I believe there are negotiations going on right now between the prosecutor's office and Joe Gentz's to try to reach plea resolution ... and probably sentence resolution for Mr. Gentz. And Mr. Gentz then would be used against Robert Bashara."
